摘要
IN COUNTRIES WITH MATURE ECONOMIES, POWER DISTRIbution networks play a critical role in supporting the industrialized society. These power grids were designed decades ago, with the main aim of delivering electricity from large power stations to households and businesses. The last few years, however, have witnessed the introduction of novel technologies and concepts that promise to change the way we produce, manage, and consume electricity. Technologies such as distributed generation and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) will help to reduce CO2 emissions and offer more sustainable options to consumers of energy, while applications such as the advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) and home energy management system (HEMS) will enable consumers to manage their energy usage more efficiently. The smart grid initiative aims at modernizing the current electricity grid by introducing a new set of technologies and services that will make the electricity ne tworks more reliable, efficient, secure, and environmentally friendly. © 2006 IEEE.
